Protests erupt in Italy as one of the most stringent anti-coronavirus measures in Europe goes into effect.

Police were out in force, schools ended classes early and embassies issued warnings of possible violence amid concerns that the anti-vaccination demonstrations could turn violent, as they did in Rome last weekend.

“Today they are stepping on our Constitution," said an anti-vaccine protester, Loris Mazzarato. “I say NO to this discrimination.” But at smaller places of work, from restaurants to tennis clubs, employers and managers had to download an app that can scan the codes. While it was unclear how strictly Italy would enforce the requirement, the fear of spot checks drove employers to comply, at least initially.

The aim of the requirement is to encourage even higher vaccination rates in a country that has kept the latest delta variant-fueled resurgence largely under control, reporting around 67 cases per 100,000 inhabitants and a daily death toll that hasn't exceeded 70 for months. Some employers are offering free tests at work, but the government has refused calls to make testing free across the board. Currently rapid tests run from 8 euros for children to 15 euros for adults.

Not even the Vatican was spared opposition to the new requirement: Three Swiss Guards quit and another three were suspended after they refused to get vaccinated before the Vatican’s green pass requirement went into effect.

HIPAA, COVID-19 Vaccination, and the WorkplaceHIPAA doesn’t restrict anyone from sharing information about their own health, such as their COVID19 vaccination status. Learn more about what HIPAA covers: its mainly 4 drs to discus with the public not patients, from my understanding Thanks, but this seems like common sense, I'll share whatever info I want, it's my data. Dumbest meme yet. Obviously we can share what ever we want. The question is does HIPAA allow a employer to ask employees or not. Seems pretty simple
